拍品描述： Providence, Rhode Island. Globe Bank. ND (18xx). $2. About Uncirculated. Proof.(RI-305 G18) Wellstood, Hanks, Hay & Whiting, New York. Printed on india paper only. Center, splitting title, Atlas bearing weight of world topped with allegorical Four Continents, flanked on the ground by reclining Knowledge and Time. Shields with 2 counters in upper corners. Bottom corners, cherubs and filigree, Durand 1339. Rarity-7. One of most elaborate Wellstood vignettes which actually saw wide usage due to the large circulation of this bank. The signs of the Zodiac cross the diagonal equator of the globe with from left to right: Africa (tusk), The Americas (Indian princess), Europe (crowned), and Asia (umbrella). Amazing to behold under magnification with rich details. Atlas, poorly paid, has the ultimate labored look. A second proof from this tough title, fully framed and nicely presented. Two tears are seen running from POCs to the bottom edge. Previously from our offering of the Peter Meyer Collection Part III where it realized $1762.50.
